The Basic Collection

January 4, 2016

Within the Federal Depository community, there is a list of titles known as the Basic Collection. These are items that any depository library must provide access to, regardless of the type of library. While many of them are still printed on paper, happily, a lot of them are also available online! Below is a list of items you can find in the Basic Collection, as well as links to their websites. Some of these we have mentioned before. However, over the next couple of weeks we will individually profile those that are making their first appearance on the blog.

For your reading and information pleasure, we present The Basic Collection:
